Is anyone related to these Jordans? They were a Roman Catholic family whose members were noted in the Biddleston Hall RC chapel records. Biddleston Hall was the home of the RC Selby family for centuries.

Thanks Trish. All these folks are my direct line. I have their details from the Northumberland Archives.
I just want to know if anyone else is related to them.

Fair enough, I hope someone is :)

It's taken me nearly all 2019 to find who my Murrays married - the Jordans. Hiding in Presbyterian and RC records, the former not online! Only to be found at the archives........

Oh yes, Trish. This one had circumstantial evidence, red herrings and few hard facts. I felt like Poirot at the end:-) It stirred "my leetle grey cells" ???
